It has been more than a month since Lu Jiajie took the two children away. She has been looking for them like crazy, but unfortunately no one has seen them. Two days ago, she heard from someone else that Lu Jiajie took the two children to Guangzhou.

Father Ma asked, "I heard you were going to Yangcheng to look for Lu Jiajie? That unfaithful man doesn't want you anymore, so why are you still going to look for him?"

These words stabbed Ma Lili's heart like a knife. She said with red eyes: "Dad, Jiajie and I are at odds because of family matters. As long as I change, he will forgive me."

These days, everyone around her advised her to stop interfering with her parents' family and to sincerely admit her mistakes, so that she could save her own family.

Father Ma's heart skipped a beat. What does it mean to change one's ways in order to be forgiven by Lu Jiajie? "What do you mean by that? Are you going to ignore me, your mother, and Jixiang from now on?"

Ma Lili said sadly, "Dad, I paid nearly half of the money for Jixiang's house, and I asked someone to help him change schools. Dad, I can't give up my own home just for Jixiang."

Father Ma was very smart. He changed his tune immediately after hearing what she said: "Do you really think that Lu Jiajie wants a divorce because you helped Jixiang? Lili, don't be silly. That's just an excuse he made up. He must have found a lover outside. He wants a divorce but doesn't want to bear the stigma of Chen Shimei, so he uses me, your mother and Jixiang as excuses."

Ma Lili expressed her trust in Lu Jiajie.

Ma's father said bluntly: "Why does he want to divorce you if he didn't find another woman outside? You didn't want to and took the two children away. Lili, he wants to divorce you just for the woman outside."

When Ma Lili heard this, tears started to fall from her eyes.

Ma's father said, "There are many good men in this world. Doesn't he want to divorce you? Then divorce him, but you have to peel off a layer of skin from him."

Ma Lili shook her head and said, "Dad, I won't get a divorce. Dad, I'm going to Yangcheng to find Jiajie tomorrow. I'll admit my mistakes to him and ask for his forgiveness."

Father Ma said with a dark face: "Lili, your mother and I worked hard to raise you, not for others to abuse you. Listen to me, divorce him, and Dad will find you someone better than Lu Jiajie."

Ma Lili became a little excited: "Dad, I'm so old and I can't have children because of sterilization. What good can I marry after divorce? Then I can only marry those who can't find a wife or widows who have children. But what good life can I have if I marry these two kinds of people?"

"Can Dad still hurt you?"

Ma Lili hung her head and said nothing. She and Lu Jiajie had ended up getting divorced because she helped her parents. She didn't want to give the money, but she couldn't resist her parents' pleading.

“You, you…”

After saying the word "you" twice, Ma's father slowly fell to the ground.

When Ma Lili saw that Ma's father had fainted from anger, she felt anxious and regretful. She shouted for her neighbors to help send the man to the hospital.

That night, Lu Jiajie received a call from Ah Le: "Your mother-in-law, the one surnamed Ma, was admitted to the hospital. I heard that he fainted because of his sister-in-law, Ma Lili. But when they were almost at the hospital, the one surnamed Ma woke up and said that it was too expensive and he didn't want to go to the hospital. In the end, the father and daughter went home."

Lu Jiajie sneered, "He's not afraid of spending money, he's just pretending to be unconscious because he's afraid of being exposed by the doctor when he goes to the hospital!"

Ah Le was silent for a moment and then asked, "Brother Jie, do you really want to divorce your sister-in-law? My mother said that your sister-in-law has realized her mistakes and said that she will change. She is also going to Guangzhou to find you and your two children. Brother Jie, being able to be husband and wife is also a fate from your previous life, and you have two children. For the sake of the two children, give her another chance!"

Actually, Lu Jiajie didn't want to divorce. He had been running a business and taking care of the children during this period. Although he hired a nanny and a tutor, it was still very hard. But Ma Lili was in such a state that he had to divorce. Both children would be ruined. Xiaofeng was not to be mentioned. Qiangqiang used to be very naughty, but now he doesn't like to go out and doesn't talk much.

Lu Jiajie said: "She won't come to Yangcheng."

"The tickets are all bought, for the day after tomorrow."

"Just wait and see. Her good parents will make her change her mind."

It turned out that Lu Jiajie's guess was correct. After Ma's father fainted and went back home, he kept complaining about heart pain. Ma's mother didn't say a word of blame but just sat there wiping tears. Ma Lili was worried and had to refund the ticket to stay and take care of the two.

Ah Le had been keeping an eye on Ma Lili, and when he found out that she had refunded her ticket, he told his mother, "Don't worry about this anymore."

A Le's mother said, "It is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Jia Jie's wife will go to Yangcheng tonight to find Jia Jie and show that she really knows she is wrong. She should not divorce for the sake of the two children. If this stepmother comes into the family, the two children will suffer in the future."

Ah Le said angrily, "What do you want to change? She has already refunded her ticket to Guangzhou, and even took two days off to take care of her father who was pretending to be sick! Mom, who would dare to marry a woman who is so easily led by her parents? If it were me, I would rather be single for the rest of my life than have a daughter-in-law who is so disloyal."

He would persuade Lu Jiajie not to divorce, and he also believed his mother's words and thought that Ma Lili really knew she was wrong and would correct it. After all, divorce is not good for the two children, so they always persuaded reconciliation rather than separation.

Ah Le's mother exclaimed, "Did you make a mistake?"

"This is not a trivial matter, how can we make a mistake? Brother Jie has made up his mind to divorce this time. If we continue to persuade him, we will be hated."

A Le's mother hesitated and asked, "Son, tell me honestly, does Lu Jiajie have a lover in Yangcheng? Is that why he insisted on getting a divorce?"

If they were worried that Ma Lili would support her parents, they could just take her to Yangcheng or Pengcheng. The farther away, the less impact she would suffer. But Lu Jiajie wanted a divorce right away, and there was no room for negotiation.

Ah Le said without thinking, "No. Brother Jie is very busy in Yangcheng every day, and he has to take care of two children. How can he have time to find a woman?"

"Didn't you say before that Lu Jiajie was doing business with a woman called Danny, and he praised that woman for her beauty. Lu Jiajie had frequent contacts with her, so after a long time, wouldn't he..."

Ah Le immediately interrupted her and said with a straight face, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Sister Danny has a fiancé. He is a college student, handsome, and has a lot of money. The two of them have a good relationship and have decided to get married at the end of the year."

Ah Le's mother was a little embarrassed. With such a good fiancé, how could she be attracted to a rough guy like Lu Jiajie?
